mini_roundabout, as the tag should only be used if there is no island
present but in fact it is also used in such cases.

Nathan,
formally you are correct, but it has been OSM practice to base its tags on
UK definitions. Why should we abandon this practice in this case. In
addition, to my knowledge, they invented the mini-roundabout there and
defined it with a traversable centre piece.

Nope. In the UK, not all highway=trunks are trunk roads. Some have been
detrunked but remain in the primary route network.

Careful - there was a recent dispute over whether a turning circle with

I just went through the mini_roundabouts in east central Florida. I

As a UK mapper the main problem as I see it is one of language. When I drive
over a mini roundabout I know what I have done, when I drive around a small
roundabout I understand the difference. Maybe the problem is that the word
'mini' gets confused with 'small' which in any other context is
